“Le 357” meme: meaning, origin and common card

In May 2024, on the Winamax set, French football pundit Walid Acherchour lost it over Achraf Hakimi: next to the Maxwell of Paris Saint-Germain’s better years, the full-back made him want to take “a 3-5-7” and put it to his head.

The “Le 357” meme, 2024

In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Le 357” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 830 of the collection, and the 776th best-known meme of its 869 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Le 357” meme mean?

The card marks exasperation pushed into the absurd, the kind people voice with a violent image they do not mean for a second. Bring it out for a botched touch, an unreadable file, a bug that keeps coming back. The register is television hyperbole: the pundit later explained that the phrase stood in for a blunter word he could not use on air. Handle it as exaggeration, never as a threat.

Where does the “Le 357” meme come from?

Walid Acherchour, a French football journalist born in 1993 and a pundit on RMC’s After Foot, was on the Winamax set in May 2024, after Paris Saint-Germain went out to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals. Talking about Achraf Hakimi, he said that remembering Maxwell, the club’s full-back in its better years, and then watching his successor’s technique, would make you take “a 3-5-7” and put it to your head — miming the weapon against his temple as he said it. Elton Mokolo and Thomas Bonnavent, sitting beside him, asked him to calm down and told viewers not to try that at home. A few months later he admitted he had lost it and called the moment too much. The clip has circulated as a short loop ever since.
